 Measurables:
Combine height: 6-0
Combine weight: 198 pounds
Combine 40 time: 4.43 seconds
Stats:
Maclin’s production as a receiver—102 catches for 1,260 yards and 13 touchdowns last year as a redshirt sophomore, 182 catches for 2,315 yards and 22 touchdowns for his abbreviated Missouri career—only tells part of the story. Maclin set an NCAA freshman record for all-purpose yardage with 2,776 combined receiving, rushing, and return yards and 16 touchdowns; he followed that effort with 2,833 all-purpose yards—fifth-most in NCAA history—last year and scored a combined 17 touchdowns.
Skill Set:
Simply put, Maclin is a playmaker. He has adequate size, tremendous athletic ability, and great speed and quickness. A tweaked knee at the Combine likely contributed to a slower-than-expected 4.43 in the 40—he’s been clocked under 4.3 previously—and he’s expected to lower that time at Missouri’s second pro day on March 19. But Maclin isn’t simply a burner; he has good vision as a runner and is elusive in the open field, and it’s that versatility—running, catching, and in the return game—that has scouts salivating. Maclin also showed plenty of character in coming back strong from a serious knee injury that forced him to redshirt during his first year at Missouri.
